I find it helpful to do some drills at the beginning of each ski day to get my legs and feet
"in tune".

I do spend time during the day thinking about different parts of the turn.
Sometimes I am more "conscious" of skiing than other times.

And when in tight spots, do what I need to not hit a tree or have a serious collision.

Like Jim, those moments of stopping, looking around  at the vistas or listening to the hushed quiet
of the woods are some of the sweetest moments in skiing.

Those rare times, when you feel like you are skiing effortlessly but also with acute awareness, are the ones I strive.

I remember those times when running. They could never be programmed, but would just appear. Being completely in the moment and one with your body. Aaaahhhh.
